There's also an option -p to halt (which is the default when you invoke it as 'poweroff') that tells the kernel to do a poweroff when the system is halted. It _may_ require the kernel option mentioned above, the manpage doesn't say. You also may need to telinit to runlevel 0, the manpage isn't clear about that either.
